hi misc.
just to followup on my Vaio: (been a week, no cigars)
1. I was hoping to update the bios, but Sony have dropped all support for this
old laptop, and have removed all drivers and bios downloads from their websites.
2. I upgraded to a latest snapshot and experienced same behaviour.
3. I considered trying an older release eg 5.9 or 6.3 but wasn't sure it would
help.
It's a small issue, and will not hinder OpenBSD usage on this device, so it can
remain an unsolved, but minor mystery.
thanks anyways.
-Sub.
